I'm hoping to develop an application that leverages the Gimp's
functionality, but uses its own GUI and some other libraries. My
ideal situation would be this:
- The user opens my application and the only reference to the Gimp that
can be directly seen by them are Gimp licensing requirements, while my
application would be using the Gimp behind the scenes for basic image
manipulation handling.
My current idea is to develop a plugin for the Gimp which uses my
GUI(not using GTK). I'm basing this off of the Gimp pluggin
development samples and tutorials available. However, is this the
correct path I should be taking? Will I be able to start the
pluggin from my app without having the user manually open it from the
Gimp? Finally, is there a better way to use libgimp so that I can
just use Gimp functionality from my application without having to
startup the full Gimp application and use a pluggin?
